With Valentine’s Day fast
approaching, Cupid has shot
his arrow into the heart of Ann
Arbor. According to a recent
Amazon list, Ann Arbor was
ranked the 10th most-romantic
city in the United States.
Topping the list are San
Antonio, Texas, Miami, Fla. and
Alexandria, Va.
According to the press
release by Amazon, the
rankings were determined by
compiling “sales data from
cities with more than 100,000
residents on a per capita basis
and includes purchases of
romance novels and relationship
books (both Kindle and print);
romantic comedy movies (DVDs
and digital).”
Other factors that were
considered were music
purchases from artists like
Adele and John Legend, as well
as “the sales of sexual wellness
products.”
Thanks to data collected
by Amazon’s
“Alexa,” our
insights into
the love lives
of those who
live in the
United States’
midsized and
large cities
has expanded.
According
to Amazon’s
website,
the most-
requested
love songs
on “Alexa”
included
“Thinking
Out Loud” by
Ed Sheeran
and “I Will
Always Love
You” by
Whitney Houston. Customers
also liked to order flowers and
chocolate truffles via Alexa.

“Pantry
dropping
good”
boasts the motto of Dozen’s
Cookies, a gourmet cookie
company founded by University
of Michigan alumni Ethan and
Jared Forman, who attended
the Ross School of Business
and are twin brothers. The duo
is committed to selling high-
quality cookies at an affordable
price for students.
According to Jared Forman,
the
brothers
had
enough
credits to finish their degrees
last fall, so they decided to
operate for profit on campus.
The brothers bake and deliver
orders from their home in Ann
Arbor, focusing on e-commerce
sales
until
they
graduate
and move back home to Los
Angeles, where they wish to
open a brick-and-mortar shop.
“Now, having a large amount
of time, we can professionally
operate
our
business
and
ultimately create a sense of
reliability that our customers
need,” Jared Forman said. “It’s
just been a good opportunity.
We now have the ability to fully
dedicate our time to opening a
brick-and-mortar shop back in
Los Angeles, but at the same
time to start to grow and build
a brand specifically through
e-commerce.”
After
creating
the
idea
in high school, the business
developed as a charitable club
named Cookies 4 Care at the
University in 2013.
“We were able to manifest
that business in the form of
a club,” Jared Forman said.
“And that club became Cookies
4 Care, which was one of the
largest active clubs at the
University of Michigan in my
freshman year.”
After an order is placed
online,
Jared
Forman
said
they normally have the cookies
baked and delivered locally in
less than one hour. The cookies
have a shelf life of one to two
weeks when kept in their
cellophane wrapping.
“Essentially we are working
on distributing a high-quality
product and a very affordable
price,” he said. “The greatest
thing about baked products,
in terms of margins, (is that)
there
can
be
a
mutually
beneficial
relationship
for
both parties. We feel more
comfortable distributing for a
cheaper price.”
Business
senior
Allison
Diener
has
ordered
from
the service twice and said
the
responsiveness
and
price point were favorable,
especially compared to local
competition.
“The cookies are very
gourmet
and
extremely
affordable,
especially
compared
to
Insomnia
(Cookies)”
Diener
said.
“They will come deliver
them to you or meet you
wherever you want.”
Jared Forman said he is
trying to make his company
as personable as possible. As
head of marketing, he wishes
to create a platform that
customers find both easy
and fun to use. Jared said he
takes pride in his company
and making deliveries to his
customers.
“The attitude I’m hoping
to personify through our
cookie account is something
that’s
very
fun
and
something
very
playful,”
Jared Forman said. “Maybe
get a laugh in their day or a
smile. We truly are building
a brand from scratch. I
